The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 280, seeks to amend section 14-145b of the general statutes to allow the owner of a towed vehicle, or their authorized representative, to use the vehicle's certificate of title as proof of ownership. This change is intended to facilitate the process of regaining possession of a towed vehicle specifically for the purpose of towing it to another location.
The bill introduces new legal language that permits the use of the certificate of title as acceptable proof of ownership, while there are no deletions from the current law specified in the text. The overall aim of the bill is to streamline the process for vehicle owners who need to retrieve their vehicles from towing companies.
